    Review Matthew Yospin

    Excellent attorney

    Posted by

    Matt helped me receive my first patent and I am happy to recommend him as an attorney. He was extremely patient and having a scientific background was able to help me write a very detailed and illustrated application. Matt also made the legal details easy to for me to understand so I could stay focused on the most important parts of the application.

    From the beginning of my work with Matt, he has kept the process simple, and this is not a simple process. He clearly laid out all steps, my role, his role, all costs, timeframes and communication methods at the beginning. He followed that path exactly, updated me as needed and offered the necessary consultation. Otherwise I have been able to simply work and enjoy my precious free time. I am considering a second trademark application for a different business and I will absolutely work with Matt again. He is an excellent lawyer and I fully recommend his service.

    Great experience

    Posted by

    I met with Matthew initially to discuss utility patents and his expertise and ability to break down the complexities of intellectual property law into simpler terms made working with him a great experience. He was easily accessible via email and phone and made an effort to respond quickly to my inquiries. He served as such a great resource for my patent issues that I went back to him for guidance on handling a trademark opposition the following year. His introductory rate was more than fair based on the insight and support he provided for the patent discussion and the follow up discussions that occurred regarding other types of intellectual property. Matthew proved to be a great IP lawyer and should definitely be considered for legal consult on IP matters. Thanks again Matthew!

    Great attorney

    Posted by

    Matthew Yospin is a wonderful attorney and a credit to the profession! I have total confidence in him and his abilities. One of his gifts I feel was the ease and the ability to help navigate me through the patent process without being condescending and making sure I feel comfortable with understanding the information he was diivulging . I will be using him as I move forth with my Patent.

    Brilliant attorney!

    Posted by

    Matthew is a wonderful attorney. We are in the infancy stage of our business and Matthew explained step by step the provisional patent and full patent method. He went over all topics such as obviousness and answered all of our questions thoroughly. It was a pleasure to sit in a strategy meeting and be able to speak freely and comfortably regarding our ideas. We look forward to working with Matthew during the the patent application process and beyond.

    Knowledable advice, good IP strategy and flexibility

    Posted by

    Matt helped us with a patent filing for an software application. He showed a deep knowledge of the patent process and nuances, and quickly grasped the complexity of the subject. He also provided business advice around the strategy and risks of the filing, and was flexible when the requirements changed mid-process. I would not hesitate to utilize his services again for future IP work.

    Wonderful Attorney

    I first went to Matthew based on a referral from a friend but the decision to enlist his help was based on his knowledge, experience, friendliness, and guidance. Matthew checked in with me regularly and helped me think of ways to adjust my designs to make them more unique. Matthew ensured that every step of the provisional patent process was met with an experienced and friendly support. I would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone needing legal guidance.
